Default Re: Fresh cut rotors...and new pads...

well...i had the mech remove the bolts...remove the tire...and then replace and retighten the bolts in the correct pattern and to 140lbs...i watched them from 2 ft away to make sure...

nevertheless...the squealing is still there...

just a few more things to add...

the squealing was occurring on the stock pads with stock rotors from 29k to 45k but was not unbearable and would come and go...alot of highway miles with the radio CRANKED too...

i had plenty of meat on the pads too...approx. 6 or 7mm i am guessing...when they came off...

I am going to take a shot in the dark and say that the rotors need to be replaced...and stock pads put on...due to the amount of time that passed it may have warped them ever so slightly...

the tires rotated front to back only as well...cant blame it on them...

the set screw question was answered...thanks...

if it is all replaced back to stock and the squealing still exists...what then...??...maybe an axle issue...??...i dunno...

thanks for all the help...
